Day 30: Eyes – Window to the Soul
TAG: Descriptions of eye surgery.
Techie can only be brave enough to face this surgery if Matt is there with him. Because Techie can only do this if he’s awake the whole time.

Techie knows it’s asking too much. He’s asking Matt way much
more than he should, however much he knows Matt loves him. If Matt says no,
that’s okay. He’ll manage. It’s just that… it frightens him. Letting people
mess with his eyes.“Of course I will.” Matt doesn’t even hesitate.
“It’s too much,” Techie says.
“No it isn’t.”
“Nobody likes to see that sort of thing.”
“I won’t be watching it,” says Matt staunchly, “I’ll be
looking you in the other eye and talking to you. We don’t have to pay attention
to… the other thing. If we don’t want to.”Techie is pretty damned sure he’ll be paying attention. Once
his questioning determined it was both possible and safe, that was the only
choice for him to make.He’ll be awake for the entire surgery to treat his mech-eyes
with a compatible organic casing so that his body stops trying to reject the
implants. First the left eye, and once that’s back in his head and working
properly, the right. All in one sitting. All under a strong local anaesthetic
while he stays awake and is therefore not helpless.
